The big FR logo sure looked good on the Grapevine. That was nice of Brit mentioning FR's claim to the document story.

Hey, at least he mentioned us by name - which is more than I can say for 99% of the rest of the media.

Whenever I hear media call us "bloggers" it makes my head spin. Why are they so reluctant to call us by our name for heaven's sake??

Fear and denial? :)

chuckle... Somehow I think it was you that Brit had in mind when he said, "Members of the Free Republic website have been telling me..."

It's odd how often Taranto quotes DU... and not FR. Hmmmm.

Yes, but he typically mentions them in derision.

Totally agree Mewzilla. My question was more directed to them, if they're reading along here. We're becoming a force that they are unable to deny and we want our fair seat at the table!

So there, media.

;-)

I looked back at my email to make sure I was nice......LOL.

Credit where credit is due; we at FR started the first thread on Free Republic so we could WATCH the CBS show and comment it on it in real time.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1220090/posts

If you read the replies IN ORDER, as I have compiled them, you will see it was US, not Powerline that discovered the problems with the documents and the statements.

Furthermore, people at Free Republic email all the blogs during the night; that's how they "woke up" or "came to work" and found email advising them of the problems.

I'm not trying to be crabby about it, but I'm tired of people taking credit for our work; we started at 8:19 p.m. EST the night before any of them even mentioned it in the blogs the next morning!

Me, too! And a lot of the new signups insist on calling us a blog; I sound like the witch some accuse me of being when I try to correct them!

Why are they so reluctant to call us by our name for heaven's sake??

I have NO idea; we are not a blog; we are ORIGINAL material, most of it real time; my position has become bloggers come here and scavenge! (And then don't give us credit!)

Well, to be fair, it is kind of difficult to prove we were first. The internet is a big place.
